Al Qaeda called yesterday for attacks on U.S. oil suppliers worldwide, not just in the Middle East. The call came in the online newsletter of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. (Yup, Al Qaeda has a website: Check out this nifty guide to jihad on the internet.)
The funny thing is, the new targets include Canada, Mexico and Venezuela. Can you imagine how psyched the Bushies would be to have Al Qaeda take out Hugo Chavez?
Poor Canada and Mexico are busy battening down the hatches, probably trying to figure out why, why this is happening to them.
For a handy-dandy reference on the role of oil in the U.S.’s battle with al Qaeda and the war in Iraq, go to the Mother Jones timeline, and click the oil tag.
